After viewing this painting on the monitors at the school i decided to make some brightness/contrast adjustments. When i viewed the below image at school i could not differentiate between his boot and the shadow below his boot. It just looked dark! I checked the monitors at school and almost every one i cold find had a brightness/contrast setting of around 50-60%. So i went home and checked mine. It was around 75% for each so i adjusted it to 50% for both brightness and contrast. (The factory default was 100% brightness 75% contrast so i actually turned it down from when i first turned it on)I could still make out a pretty decent definition of color between the boot and the shadow of the boot so i sat back in my computer chair to contemplate. Just then i noticed the screen get darker. So, if i sit back in my chair, tilt my computer screen back a good inch and a half from verticle and have my brightness at 50/50 then i can achieve what it looked like on the screens at the school. Now, after discovering this i did come to the realization that i was viewing a wacom cintiq screen that sits back at a pretty steep angle.
Still though, my obsessiveness kicked in and i decided that there may someone still who can't see all the things i want them to see so i made adjustments to the file as well. I'd love to hear your input and i'd also like to know what your monitors are set at.

0 brightness and 46 contrast.
contrast is better on your corrected one...my iMac brightness control consists of a slide bar with no % indication...
(unless Im looking at the wrong thing..)
it's slid all the way up ..hmmm
i figure it's at around 50/50
most of your other works have a few /slightdefinition/contrast issues...:)
My brightness is cranked up to about 90 usually, I like to see everything. Luckily I have multiple presets that I can adjust, when I'm working on something it's usually around 50/50.
From what I understand, lens flares are considered corny/cheap in film, but for animation they're still used regularly.
This piece looks great. The one suggestion that I could come up with would be to add a little detail to the spearhead, maybe a sword and anvil so that his enemies have no doubt who killed them when they see the spear sticking out of their chest.
